The government office no longer exists.

Embracing the man's broad back, Lu Xiyue discarded the distracting thoughts in her mind.

Probably because she spent too much time talking about love during this period of time, which made her a little unable to stabilize her original belief.

What she has to do is to earn enough money, travel around the mountains and rivers, and see the great rivers and mountains.

As for feelings, just talk about it by the way, if you can't talk about it, it's nothing more than two results.

Early the next morning, Jing Yi took more than 20 people under his command to the capital, and went to Prince Ning's Mansion to present the evidence that Butler Liang said.

Prince Ning's Mansion was defeated. Although the house was abandoned, it was guarded all day long.

It would take a lot of time to sneak in and get those evidences under heavy siege.

Xiao Yunheng originally wanted to go in person, but he gave up this idea because he was concerned about the exile of the saint.

Just wait for a while, what he lacks most is patience and time.

At the same time, in the capital city, the richest man in Daxia, the Tianxia Commercial Bank, is currently under turmoil.

On the second day after Zhao Tianmao returned to the Zhao family, he was removed from the position of Patriarch.

Zhao Pinqian's name was rewritten into the genealogy, and the position of Patriarch, which was conspired by Zhao Tianmao, naturally returned to him.

Zhao Tianmao never expected that after returning to the capital in a hurry, he would face such a situation.

Liu Qingmei would have his child!

He wanted to argue, but when the child appeared in front of the clan elders, even he himself felt that there was no reason to argue.

The child named Xiuxiu looks so much like him.

The method of blood recognition is actually fake, and there are ways to recognize relatives.

Either the children have certain characteristics inherited from their parents, such as various diseases, or different-colored pupils, skin color, etc., or it is based on appearance.

In the huge Zhao Mansion, locked in a dark cell, Zhao Tianmao pressed his face against the railing, trying to escape through the darkness.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, family rules could override the law to some extent.

Just like when Zhao Pinqian was accused of having an affair with his elder's concubine and sentenced to be immersed in a pig cage, the law has nothing to do with it.

He stared like this for a long time, until his eyes had adapted to the dim light, the cell door not far away opened, and a dazzling light shone in.

A familiar figure approached, shaking a folding fan in his hand, condescending, as if he was a victor.

"Good brother, what do you want me to do?"

Detained in the cell for several days, Zhao Tianmao's whole body in Washington was already covered in filth, his hair was disheveled, and he didn't have the demeanor of a high-spirited patriarch.

Looking at Zhao Tianmao like this, Zhao Pinqian only felt happy.

"Ah--"

Zhao Tianmao raised his scarlet eyes, his eyes were cold: "You don't really think that you won, do you?"

Zhao Pinqian shrugged: "Isn't the result obvious?"

"The result?" Zhao Tianmao sneered, licking his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue, his eyes filled with resentment: "Of course this is not the result, brother, do you know that your good righteous sister is now terminally ill."

There was no candle in the gloomy cell, and the only source of light came from the open door.

The mist lingered in the sun, and even though he was wearing fur clothes, he could still feel the biting cold.

"Deadly sick?" Zhao Pinqian mocked, this Zhao Tianmao must be crazy.

Could it be that he forgot that Lu Xiyue is a top doctor, even if he is sick, he can't heal himself.

Zhao Tianmao seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said with a grinning smile: "Brother, don't forget that it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, not to mention that it is not considered a disease."

He pressed his whole face against the railing, his bloodshot pupils showed a bit of madness: "I poisoned her."

"Why, you want to threaten me with this." Zhao Pinqian shuddered.

Zhao Tianmao's appearance didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.

He is a person who can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and committing a poisonous thing is really nothing to him.

That little girl Lu Xiyue has excellent medical skills.

But what if she falls down by herself?

Perhaps Zhao Tianmao was too confident, and Zhao Pinqian couldn't help but start to worry.

"That's right, if the elder brother is willing to let me go out and prepare another 20 taels of gold for me, I might be willing to give you the antidote."

Zhao Pinqian scoffed lightly when he heard the words.

"It's a pity, I have become the head of the family now, and I don't need her anymore, so I will let you down."

The smile on the corner of Zhao Tianmao's lips froze, but soon recovered.

"Brother, can you really harden your heart and ignore it?"

He didn't believe it.

"Perhaps I have seen the filth of human nature, and there is nothing wrong with being hard-hearted."

After finishing speaking, he waved his folding fan freely and left without hesitation.

Zhao Tianmao stared at the back, and slammed the railing, a little annoyed: "At least half a month, if Lu Xiyue doesn't take the antidote, he will become a complete fool!"

However, the cell door was closed.

The words he yelled hysterically have been isolated within the gate.

"Zhao Pinqian!" He gritted his teeth and said the name, and it took him a long time to calm down.

No, Zhao Pinqian will never ignore Lu Xiyue.

His heart was tense, and he walked back to the haystack and sat down, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

When Zhao Pinqian sent someone to inquire about Lu Xiyue's situation, all the current difficulties would be easily resolved.

As he expected, those words weighed on Zhao Pinqian's heart like a huge rock, and he was about to leave for Yannan immediately, regardless of the many things under his command.

Ah Shui persuaded the person by talking badly, and ordered two people to go back to Yannan to check the situation.

The March day in Yannan is already warm.

The soap sales are getting better and better, not only that, but the fruit drink shop Lu Xiyue is also getting ready.

The fruit merchant she worked with last time had a lot of contacts, and Lu Xiyue got a very cheap price from him, and in a blink of an eye, the fruit drink shop was about to open.

Everything was going in a good direction, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Yannan's tax officials took seven or eight tax collectors and directly sealed up all the shops jointly opened by Xu Zhao Pinqian under her name.

Even the fruit drink shop that will open tomorrow has been sealed.

When Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng arrived, the tax official was about to leave.

"My lord, please stop." She stepped forward to stop him, "Dare to ask my lord why these shops are closed down."

The tax officer looked at her up and down, and said impatiently: "These shops of yours have owed taxes for several months and haven't paid them. When will the taxes be paid, and when will you come to the Yamen again."

Lu Xiyue frowned, and looked deeply: "From the opening of the shop to the present, every tax has been accounted for. My lord said so, and the women are hard to believe."

The tax official rolled his eyes, put the seal in his hand into the hand of the tax collector next to him, and said viciously: "What's the matter with you, little lady, I am in charge of taxes, so I don't know if you have paid the taxes or not?"

"I advise you to pay the tax honestly, otherwise, believe it or not, I will put you in jail."
